Great last round full of action which pretty much summed up the whole series Really enjoyed hustling these little beasts around and the close racing was fierce at every round. The only let down was the turnout, this would have been fantastic with 20+ car grids, but tbh i never felt short of action. Thought i might have front running pace here as i recently did a Porsche Cup race here in another league and have done a few trackdays at Snett so know it very well. Qualified a fine 2nd on the grid behind the rapid Simone Looking at the gap back to 4th and beyond i was thinking for once i might have a quieter race as long as i kept it on the tarmac. Wrong! my usual sparring partner Simon didnt disapoint and started aggressively attacking me within a few laps Not sure what happened to Bonner at the start, assume he got a drive thru penalty? as he certainly jumped the start ahead of me on the track as we started the race, so i was 3rd before the first 10m This also allowed Simon to close up as i had to get out the throttle into T1 with Bonners car up the inside. From about lap3 Simone had shaken out a small lead while Simon climbed all over me on my still slightly cold tyres, taking a big leap of faith by overtaking into Nelsons as it could easily have ended with us both in the gravel but he pulled it off without overshooting the 2nd part of the corner! Once my tyres were upto temp we had another fantastic scrap for most of the race, which was joined by a recovering Bonner to make it a scrappy 3 way fight! which somehow shook out with Bonner ahead of both of us. Eventually Simon gave it to much right foot out of Palmer corner and skidded off left gifting me my 3rd place back and though i shadowed Bonner to the flag, i couldnt get close enough to really pressure him again. My car had two left slow punctures by then so i was grateful for the end. My car had too much oversteer the whole race otherwise i think i might have had more chance of keeping 2nd. Usually the worn tyres balance it out but never happened here so i had to constantly snatch the steering on some corner exits. Kept me awake! Finished 3rd, great race
I do not know what to say, I was looking forward for the race but again my internet provider had a different opinion .. I fought for almost 45 minutes to fix it, I lost the quali and when finally the internet was fixed and I was ready to start the race, then my pc "remembered" to do a shutdown .. Great disappointment and a lot of nerves, I will try to find and solve the problems so that I can participate in the next races .. I hope to be able to race in the first GT3 race in Hungary on Saturday. Sorry that I didn't make it P.S I would like to have similar events with GT4 class again, it is so fun ..
Congrats to podium player in the race and to top three in the Championship! Also thank you admins for all the fun for us. Sorry to see some guy´s have so much issue with internet /etc This race I knew would be trouble for me, couldn´t go under 2:01 until practice and still going down to 2:00 wouldn´t do much improvement when top 5 was doing 1:57/59 . Great pace guy´s !!
